AUTHOR: live4christeach
I couldn't help thinking of a 'Restricted' version of "Little House On The Prairie" as I read your reply. Again, I have to say that with all of this spanking going on on a regular basis, and all of it soundly administered on the bare bottom, there still seems to be precious little learning being done.

You talk about getting spanked in the same sense that you talk about having to do the laundry or wash the floor or chop wood or mend the fence, etc. And still you insist on calling these spankings "effective", and the only "effectiveness" I can see is that they've left you hoping you can go on being spanked indefinitely.

You talk about all this shared love and a commom commitment to 'living the good life' - but for some inexplicable reason, you yourself can't manage to be as wholesome as a freshly baked loaf of whole wheat/molasses bread for more than two weeks at a time before you've provoked yet another painful and embarrassing spanking. So here we have you and your sisters and your mother getting your bottoms warmed like clockwork. And you claim it does all of you the world of good.

Next time you've got a spare moment between spankings, grab hold of the dictionary (assuming dictionaries aren't considered sinful because of the words you might accidentally see) and look up the word "punishment." And after that, look up the word "deterrence." I know it'll seem like a foreign language to you, but that's my point.
